I garden in France and every year I am plagued with Doryphores!They are called the Colorado Beetle in uk and notifiable.

When I first arrived I asked my french neighbour what these orange and black things were and were they a problem.Maurice who is 86 and works an enormous plot,stamped on it and said,"no problem".

Well they are and I'm not going to grow potatoes next year!

    My potato leaves have small black/brown dots all over them and the stalks have started to wilt. They are Earlies but have not flowered yet and the yield is small when they are dug up. Has anyone idea what is going wrong?

    We've grown almost 200 pepper plants from seeds colected by our school chef from the peppers on our salad counter. We're having a "Great Pepper Challenge" this summer, with the students each taking home a plant and growing it on. The one that grows the longest x heaviest pepper fruit wins a tin of Quality Street. Hooray!
